My husband and I recently moved to Florida and I have decorated our home mostly with a beach theme. We met this chain saw wood designer who has a farm here in our town and I purchased a solid Oak plank. Not knowing what I was going to do with it... I starter to clean it up and grinding the rough bark.
A few days later I noticed our neighbor throwing away this child's dresser. So I saw an opportunity to introduce myself and ask for the piece.
After sanding I white washed stained it with 2 coats.
Added some cast iron sea horses for towel holders on the drawer.
My husbands' boss gave me this great fishing net so I stapled it to the back of the base. Now I have a vision!!!!
After much sanding I finally got the Oak slab to a smooth finish (long process)
I had from when we lived in NJ this resin mixture I purchased at a garage sale and thought... maybe it would give me the pop I'm looking for. Little did I know how much of a pop this resin gave my little project.
I have to say... I LOVE THE FINAL RESULT!!!
Added some additional final touches off the beach... lined the inside of the drawer...
and VOILA!!! I have myself a one of a kind rolling kitchen island!!!
I took my time with this project since I wasn't sure of how I wanted it to look so overall I have been in my home for a bit over a month now. I paid $40 for the Oak piece, the dresser was free, drawer hardware I got from flea market and paint that I have in my garage.
Enjoyed the project?
